There should be a law saying that a 1.29% overclock doesnt even COUNT as an overclock. I mean it mfrs can alter their 33mhz bus speeds to 33.2mhz whilst still calling it 33 then this def doesnt count as an overclocked card.

For shame Gigabyte!!

It's actually less than that because that figure assumes the only thing that can be overclocked is the core, when in fact it should be an average overclock, of sorts, of the core, shaders and memory clocks!

They don't advertise it on the box by the looks of things.

It may just be a trick so that in reviews it always comes out on top in direct comparisons.

Sounds like cheeky marketing spin if they aint using it on the box but are in reviews and features!
